SKYNI

After a very tiring evening with the kids, i am really looking forward to having my own R&R. But Linn will not let me get away with it and made me read Goldilocks and Three Bears thrice and The Goats and The Wolf twice in both English and Mandarin. She ignored me when I tried to tell her that I was tired. As I put her to bed, I tried to talk to her to test her understanding skills

I told her to reflect on the night at Ikea, her running around the store away from me and what if I cannot find her or cannot catch up with her. She will be lost and I will have to report to the police. She will be scared if she cannot find me and will panic. So, she should really hold on to my hand at the supermarkets and stores so that I will never loose her.

I asked her if she understood what I was saying. She kept very quiet and I can see tears in her eyes. Thinking that I must have frightened her, I asked her what’s wrong. She said that she will go to the toilet to look for me.

Ok, i conclude, there is no logic to this..and why would I hide in the toilet?

I guess it’s time to take action now. No more lazing around thinking that we still got lots of time to settle the move. This month we need to settle the following

* Termination of Electric Supply

* Termination of Phone

* Termination of Cable TV Supply

* Sell the car..Terminate the Car loan

* Book One-way Air tickets

* Seriously start packing.

* Fix up the furniture and house

* Change all addresses

Just looking at the list makes me tired. And I specially hate the last one. Because there is no ‘new’ address that i can redirect our mail to. Can I just put..’Addressless’ or ‘Address Unknown’. Nicke and I decided to put my Mom’s address as a temporary solution but it’s a pain when you know that you have the ‘redo’ it again once we find a new home….ie if we find our new home. (yes, i am thinking it is almost impossible now)

Better stop complaining and get down to work.

But then again, i still need most of the above so maybe this can wait for another few weeks 🙂
